During the months of spring and summer, Normandy, France fêtes Impressionist art, and the Christian Dior museum in Granville is set to create its own exhibit celebrating the nineteenth-century movement. The high fashion museum will pair over seventy Dior gowns with renowned Impressionist paintings from artists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas and Georges Seurat. The paintings will be called in from famous French museums such as the Musée d’Orsay; dresses will reflect colours, concepts and silhouettes represented in the Impressionist works. Along with the exhibition, the Christian Dior museum's garden will feature a "perfume path." And to top it all off, the exhibition's curator Florence Müller will display a Rizzoli book. The exhibition takes place between May 4th and September 22nd. [
